On the journey to find balance, there might be no better remedy than reconnecting with our heritage. Stepping into a land shaped by Mother Nature, immersing yourself in the local culture—whether through traditional crafts or each meaningful stitch—acts as a calming balm for the soul, restoring energy and clearing the mind.

When Heritage Infuses a Rejuvenating Journey

Driven by a mission to inspire and promote holistic well-being, The Westin Resort & Spa Cam Ranh took a unique approach to celebrating its major milestones. Instead of opting for traditional entertainment, the resort partnered with Hity—an acclaimed brand recognized for its dedication to sustainable fashion and the preservation of local traditional crafts. Together, they hosted an exclusive workshop for international journalists, transforming the resort into a vibrant cultural hub. This collaboration offered guests a sophisticated introduction to heritage values, making the experience both memorable and meaningful.

Setting aside modern technology, everyone had the chance to experience traditional hand embroidery techniques—art forms that have endured for over a century and still hold incredible value today. This event wasn’t just an embroidery workshop; it was a vibrant celebration of living heritage.

Guests were amazed and delighted to personally experience these century-old embroidery arts. From tracing patterns onto fabric using carbon paper, manual hole-punching, and oil-staining—techniques once thought to be lost—to holding the needle, threading it, and making their first stitches, every step was authentically recreated.

90 Minutes to Soothe the Soul

The bustling world outside seemed to pause, allowing complete focus on each needle and thread. What started as simple curiosity soon turned into deep concentration, and ultimately, pure joy. During the 90-minute workshop, a remarkable transformation took place. Guests who were used to a fast-paced work environment and constant global travel became fully immersed in the art of embroidery. At first, their fingers were a bit awkward, but with patience and mindfulness, they grew noticeably more skilled. Stress and worries faded into the background, leaving only the embroiderer, the fabric, and the beauty of the emerging patterns.

I'm captivated by this embroidery experience. It's truly 'addictive'. I see a parallel between my work and this art form. As a journalist, I need intense focus when I write. Every word must be precise and meaningful. Embroidery is like writing; it requires deep concentration, with each stitch carefully calculated and sharp. I could sit here and embroider for hours. I really don't want to stop.

During the 90-minute workshop, guests found themselves feeling relaxed, lighter, and filled with joy. This is the true 'Therapy for the Soul' that Hity and The Westin Cam Ranh strive to share.

A Parting Gift to Continue the Journey of Tranquility

As the 'cultural station' came to a close, each guest’s journey toward tranquility was set to continue in a unique and personal way. Hity and The Westin Resort & Spa Cam Ranh thoughtfully offered a parting gift: a rustic hand embroidery kit complete with a linen cloth, needle, thread, and embroidery hoop. This heartfelt gesture served as a reminder that tranquility is always within reach—it can be found anywhere, with just a few simple tools and the calming practice of embroidery.

As the final stitches came together, something deeper than the finished artwork quietly took root in their minds. It wasn’t just the afterglow of a cultural experience; it felt more like a sense of renewal after a journey back to oneself.

Vượt qua ranh giới của một hoạt động trải nghiệm, workshop này là biểu tượng cho sự đồng điệu tâm huyết giữa Hity và The Westin nhằm tôn vinh sức mạnh tĩnh tại của nghệ thuật thủ công truyền thống. Sứ mệnh ấy bắt nguồn từ niềm tin rằng, khi được rèn luyện về thể chất và tu dưỡng về tâm trí, con người sẽ vững vàng bước trên hành trình "tâm an", từ đó kiến tạo một cuộc sống thịnh vượng, bền vững.Và trên hành trình kiếm tìm sự cân bằng ấy, còn liệu pháp nào tuyệt vời hơn việc chạm vào di sản?
